Ever since 6 years ago when I developed anxiety disorders and became suicidal, I found this song, it's become my song an have been comforted that God will fight for me the battle that wanted to take my life. I sing it in the morning, noon evening and all the time. Let me to thy bosom fly. Cover my defenseless head. Am hanging on his mighty arm
I did have a bout of anxiety yeas ago. God in his mercy freed me from it after almost 2 years. In that timei learned to lean on him is a way I probably would nohave learned any other way.I will be praying for you as I know how hard it is. Hang on in the Lord & I pray that inHis time you will recover. God Bless you ❤ t@@lynnm.2019
As my father laid on his deathbed, this is the song my father whispered over and over. I was blessed to hear my daddies last words be from this wonderful hymn.
It’s my Grandma’s favorite hymn and she sang so much especially in her ailing days before she went home to be with the Lord. It was sang at her funeral too. I had loved this hymn as far back at that time over 35 years ago. Hearing you share your memory of your grandmother brought all these back to me. What blessed we have. Singing this along with you this Saturday Morning 26:10:24, as I worship my God
What I love about you and your approach is that you don't run down or dump the old hymns and favour only the new stuff. The old favourites strike a special , sweet chord in this old heart of mine. We even have it translated into our Khasi language with a couple of additional stanzas composed by the Translator. It has a permanent place in our Hymnbook.Khasi is a tribal language spoken by about 900000 Khasi people of Meghalaya state of North East India. Thank you for this video.
This is one of my best and most favourite hymns. I started loving it as a young Christian lady. I will love and sing it almost every day throughout my time in this realm. The last stanza, "Thou o Christ art all I want..." Is such a bliss for me any day!
Too many things to explain how the Lord just used this hymn to do a miracle in my life. How He does it, I have no idea, I just know He does it and that there is none like the blessed Lord: Jesus, Lover of my soul - THANK YOU 🌹
While touring with the Eastern Nazarene College Accapella Choir I participated in a wonderful version of this hymn which forced me to really take apart the words.
This was my mom’s favorite hymn. Born in 1914, orphaned at four, a life of challenges, this song comforted and blessed her. I sing it to bless her, though she died in 1990. It’s never too late to love.
Thank you, Luke, for presenting this wonderful musical fountain of peace, hope, and joy in Christ our Saviour. Wonderful words when written so long ago -- wonderful words now in this maddening world. May GOD bless you. You certainly blessed me.
As I was watching “The Crown” today on Netflix, I saw this hymn being sung at the mass funeral of the 1966 mine disaster victims of Wales and couldn't help but look up. Then I came across your site and listened to all of your message and the singing. I must say that you sang it so beautifully! Thank you!
Thanks so much, Luke. I grew up in the Methodist church. This was a favorite hymn as a child, and still is, though I learned it to a different tune I can no longer find. This is an older tune that i recognize but can't place. Don't mind the language either. Half my roots are in the UK. I am a student of Medieval and Renaissance music. A bird entered my house one day and wound up in my office. She seemed quite upset and lost; no way would she nestle in my bosom. I just opened all the windows until she found her way out. Thunderstorm happening now on the east coast of the USA. How appropriate, at least in one version of the origin stories you mention. When I think of this hymn, I always think of the apostle John, who laid his head on Jesus' breast. I am experiencing deep grief now due to a lost partner, and visualize this almost every night. Thanks for your efforts, brother. You have a lovely voice and fine musical talent. Thanks for the blessings you bring us. You certainly lifted me today.
Thank you. That was lovely. After man years of not playing ( i am 65!) I am teaching this to myself on the piano. The way you played it was so lovely and inspired. Ellen from Franklin Indiana
Thank you foe sharing the story behind this grt song I grew up hearing my dad sing this as a lullaby to me. I can still hear his voice in my mind whenever I sing it or hear it. Love you Jesus. Thank you for this song
Thank you for this. It is my favourite hymn. The words are wonderful. I have a lot of pain, 0n and off but sometimes severe. I always sing through the pain the beautiful words and melody. For my funeral, when that day comes and I go home to Jesus' bosom.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROGRAMS ON THESE HYMNS. THESE HYMNS I REMEMBER FROM MY CHILDHOOD. BEING METHODIST THERE WAS SO MUCH SINGING THAT STILL KEEPS GOING. THESE TUNES AND WORDS SPEAK TO MY HEART OF GODS GREAT LOVE.THE YOUNGER GENERATION TOO SHOULD BE TAUGHT OF THESE HYMNS. THANK YOU AGAIN . MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
Thanks for your work of bringing into focus these hymns. This particular one reminds me of my childhood days in the Methodist Church and also my Dad, who was in love with this particular hymn--Jesus Lover of My Soul. You're blessed.
When I was in high school, 45 years ago, our choir director had our choir learn this hymn but the melody, harmony was composed by Ken Medema. It became very special to me. I was not familiar with it at all before then. I had my own Lutheran hymnal my Grandparents had given me with my name embossed on the front of it. I don't believe this hymn was in it for I often played the songs on the piano and sang from it. That hymnal did have some of John and Charles Wesley's hymn in it. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Wonderful hymn.. I have a special memory with my mum.. both of use to sing this hymn.. and while you sing. You feel the anointing of Holy spirit.. tears roll unknowingly.. ❤
Beautifully played and sung!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Your rendition of the accompaniment was very pleasing to sing with. My 90 year old mother and I sang together. Very, very meaningful. The Lord bless you!!!
What an amazing story behind the song, I am in love with this song, The words are so so wonderful & touching, It has helped me so much in my difficult times, The song helped me to know my Saviour's intimate love for me & a genuine cry in heart to look to His face through faith & draw close to Him more, Charles Wesley song's are still changing lives and helping many needy to draw close to Jesus through his song. Thank you dear Brother for all the hard work you did to make this video, God bless you immensely.
"Failed Spectacularly!" ( O! Lord! That's the title of my autoboogrsohy! ) Thank you.

Although we did not use the Sankey hymnal at our Church meetings we were familiar with songs written in it. My mother had a Sankey and often sang hymns from it at home. Some of the families in our small Church came out of the Methodist tradition and often sang this song from memory. I think that is how I first learned this song as part of testimony services. We sang it in a different tune that I like better, perhaps because it is more familiar to me. However, I do appreciate your sharing your version with us. Thanks a lot.
I heard this song the first time when I was playing the intrumental hymns on my laptop. The music captured my attention. Then I searched the hymn on youtube where I came across with the Fernando Ortega rendition of this wonderful.hymn.
Greetings from Nebraska! This is my very favorite hymn. I don't know when I first heard it or sang it. I also grew up in the Methodist Church and I must have learned it there. I also love the poem by Marianne Farningham called "The Last Hymn." Are you familiar with it? In my hymnal it has an alternate melody. My dear friend and I sang this hymn together; each of us singing one of the melodies. It was beautiful.
Is this the original melody for this hymn, we sung it to a different tune. One of my favourites, was interesting hearing it sung different, almost like hearing it for the first time again fifty years later.
Was going to bring ro your attention you sang "found" but the poem says find, which took away from the blind.. but its totally irrelevant. Just making sure you know
A reference in today's instalment of Christian History "Death of Joseph Barnby" made me search to this hymn. Although I am Methodist it is unfamiliar in my church as well. Thanks.

Memories... when my Dad was grasping for breathe, my Mom said, Dad is going. Lets sing Jesus Lover Of My Soul. That was Nov 6, 1966.
As my father laid on his deathbed, this is the song my father whispered over and over. I was blessed to hear my daddies last words be from this wonderful hymn.
God bless YOU. You have two Fathers in Heaven. (AMEN)
Love this one - and the tune is called Aberystwyth and is a typical Welsh minor key (my maternal grand father came from near 'Aber' (as we call it))
It’s my Grandma’s favorite hymn and she sang so much especially in her ailing days before she went home to be with the Lord. It was sang at her funeral too. I had loved this hymn as far back at that time over 35 years ago. Hearing you share your memory of your grandmother brought all these back to me. What blessed we have.

One of my favorites. Really speaks to the heart.
Hymn was sung at my church during Maundy Thursday last year. The sombre tone and mood of the hymn makes it suitable for such an occasion.

The words that Wesley used is what drew me to this hymn!
It is a wonderful and great hymn😊
Thank you foe sharing the story behind this grt song
I grew up hearing my dad sing this as a lullaby to me. I can still hear his voice in my mind whenever I sing it or hear it. Love you Jesus. Thank you for this song
Sweet! So dear. Thank you.
One of the first hymns I learned (to different tune).
Thank you for sharing! This is my favourite hymn
Thank you for this. It is my favourite hymn. The words are wonderful. I have a lot of pain, 0n and off but sometimes severe. I always sing through the pain the beautiful words and melody. For my funeral, when that day comes and I go home to Jesus' bosom.
Like how you tell the story behind the song, Jesus Christ loves you,
A truly beautiful Hymn from a real believer ❤

I am looking for hymns for my burial. Do not want to let mine children to do the task.
So comforting. Sometimes I am full of fear, and I know this is si, it is difficult to escape from it.
Bunul Dumnezeu să vă binecuvânteze 🙏
Thank you, Luke ❤
This is a different melody from the one we sang. Charles Wesley has written more songs that I would call my favorites than any other .
Beautiful Luke, thank you❤
I have this hymn on my worship song playlist.
🎉The song invites one who needs help.
I love this hymn. I learned it with a different tune but I like the one you sang it to.
It's my new favorite song ❤
Your content is such a blessing. May God bless and keep you! Charles and his brother were real giants of the gospel

A reference in today's instalment of Christian History "Death of Joseph Barnby" made me search to this hymn. Although I am Methodist it is unfamiliar in my church as well. Thanks.
Can you do Nearer My God To Thee for your next hymn story?
Nice suggestion! I will add it to my list
